We help outstanding students achieve their goals.

Student Support Services Program

For over thirty years the US Department of Education has sponsored a TRIO opportunity program for CCNY undergraduates known as the Student Support Services Program. It is the largest SSSP TRIO program in New York State and the fourth largest in the country.

The Student Support Services Program (SSSP) provides undergraduates with the resources they need to successfully complete their degrees. Our comprehensive services help students achieve their academic and professional goals.
